Some of his batting records have recently been broken, but in the JCP World, Eddie Murray owned the record book for quite a while. In that world he would have been a first ballot HOF'er, and would be spoken of in Gehrig-like tones.

In my original progressive league, which is going into it's 29th season, Eddie Murray owns most of the batting records. The records are slightly tainted though as the first six seasons (1969-1974) aren't included in the stats as those seasons were played prior to the site keeping track of stats for progressive leagues.

Just to give you some comparison, here are our stats. We actually started in 1980, but only have the career stats for 1983 on. Too bad I can't sort for the same decades to compare. Our career pitching numbers are higher, but the single season pitching, and all the batting stats are similar, and slightly lower in some cases. We will be starting again in 1962, so it's too bad someone can't post the 1960s and 1970s!
